Recently I've stumbled upon the phrase "lateral weight shift." The phrase describes transitions where the skier remains centered over the ski (fore-aft-wise) as the body moves laterally over the skis, or the skis move laterally under the body, weight shifting from old outside ski to new outside...

OK, so it's my first day out of my ski boots in nearly a month, and I thought I'd skim the Internet to see what's new in the world of skiing understanding. How 'bout a little history of ski design (and predictions for the future)...that could be interesting!

@SSSdave says that he spends all day in the bumps (at Tahoe area resorts).
@KingGrump comments about skiing moguls 6 out of 7 days at Taos.
This has got me thinking:
1. I want to do what they do.
2. I don't know how they do what they do.
Please, pretty please, drop words of wisdom, or better...

Bob Barnes’ primary rule in the “Crudology” vimeo is to “keep them going in the direction they are pointed”.
How do you teach this? What exercises? How do you explain it?

In 1999, @AC_ had a vision to create a place where people who were passionate about skiing could hang out and talk about all things skiing, which was the beginning of EpicSki.com. Over the years, the passion shared by the members fueled conversations about ski instruction, ski gear, ski trips...

It is often said (on forums in Europe, anyway) that a ski boot with too high a flex can hinder a beginner or lower intermediate skier in his developent. I don't really understand why.
If the boot fits properly, and flex really is the only thing in question here: what is it that a developing...
Hi
There is nothing like a good instructor. But for different reasons, it's nice to supplement that with other sources of learning. This forum is an example. But I wonder what folks like to either use or recommend.
I really like the series of videos by Elate Media on Youtube - They are good...
I've skied some interesting snow the past couple weeks and I've been reminded of some things in this video.
Funny, @Spooky Marcus posted this back in November and I think he's on to something.

Here it is--the very secret of life (or at least, of skiing--which is the same thing, right?), the most fundamental, most essential, and perhaps most elusive and most misunderstood movement pattern in all of skiing. The Infinity Move (which I have in the past called "the X-Move") is the default...

When I'm talking to friends about ski technique, I hear a lot of these terms, some of which seem to be the same but different.
Lets talk about why terminology matters and when to use one term instead of...
